How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

There were no negatives.
Super friendly host Carol makes you feel like a family friend. Everywhere absolutely spotlessly clean, which is always reassuring when you're staying away. Excellent location tucked away, with private parking, yet a minute's walk away from the centre of Hemsley. Awesome breakfast tailored to preference. Nothing seemed too much trouble. Perfect in every way. I would heartily recommend and will definitely be visiting again.

Nothing to not like
Fabulous location, the accommodation was spotlessly clean with some lovely touches such as fresh milk in the fridge, biscuits on the tea tray, little sweets, and chocolate by the bed on arrival. As for the hosts, Carol and Frank, they couldn't do enough for you, so friendly and helpful, with a 5 star breakfast you couldn't get better anywhere else and we will definitely be back. Thank you both xx

Initial parking and access to Stilworth House from the rear was slightly confusing for us - maybe we missed something in the guidance instructions. The host was very helpful in showing us how to proceed as soon as we met her. Useful space could be enhanced by furniture changes: remove large wardrobe, smaller chest of drawers, move fridge so it doesn't block the window, and provide another two electric sockets.
Perfect location for Helmsley Castle, walled gardens, national centre for birds of prey and eating places. Accommodation very good and clean - great shower and useful fridge,

Just the size of the room.
We would have rated the property as excellent but the the room was very small and rather cramped. It was not possible for example to sit comfortably in the two chairs. However in every other way everything was excellent. Carol was very helpful; the breakfast could not be surpassed; and the room was exceptionally clean and very well resourced. The position of the house is brilliant being a couple of minutes walk from the centre of Helmsley.
